Google’s Android XR announcement introduces a new operating system for AR/VR devices, including Samsung’s Project Moohan headset and smart glasses. Alongside this, Google is phasing out the “Hey Google” command and Google Assistant in favor of the Gemini AI. Gemini is already being integrated across Android devices, Nest and apps like Spotify and Google Home. In demos, users interact with AR glasses using the “Hey Gemini” hotword, signaling a shift toward a fully Gemini-powered ecosystem. Android XR marks the start of Google’s “Gemini era,” with deeper integration expected across its products.
